Cut the fresh broccoli into bite-sized
florets. Remove the tough skin off the stem
and quarter it into 2 inch pieces, cutting them slantwise. Add 2.5 quarts water,
2 tablespoons oil and 1 tablespoon salt into a pot. Bring to a
boil. Add the broccoli and boil
quickly for about a minute. Quickly plunge them into cold water to
set color, drain and place on platter or in a bowl. Using a small bowl,
mix the soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, salt and sugar. Pour the mixture over the
broccoli and toss. This salad can be served
hot or cold depending on your preference.
